Police who enforce Islamic law in Nigeria’s northern city of Kano have arrested 150 people in the last week, including for indecent dress, as part of a crackdown on immorality, a spokesman said on Tuesday.Some people in Nigeria’s second city have been picked up for sporting hair styles inspired by prominent international football players, said Mohammed Yusuf Yola, spokesman for Kano’s sharia police, or Hisbah.
Others were thrown in jail and fined for wearing their trousers too low on their waists, mimicking a style that became prominent in the 1990s, partly through the influence of some American hip hop artists.
The arrests have followed an order by Kano state Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso to cleanse the city of immoral practices and the trend is set to continue in the weeks ahead, said Hisbah Director-General Abba Sufi.
The Hisbah is a state police force funded by state government and is not part of the federal police.
“We have arrested 150 men and women in the past week, including prostitutes and their boyfriends, transvestites, alcoholics and those engaged in indecent dressing in contravention of the sharia legal code,” Yola told said.
Religion has repeatedly been used as a political issue in Kano and the governor, seen as a moderate, has been accused by rivals of lacking commitment to sharia’s guidelines.
Yola insisted the operation was launched to reverse disturbing trends in the city of some five million people and is targetting people of various faiths.
“Those arrested include Muslims and non-Muslims and we treat them equally because this is about morality,” he said.
Kano, like the rest of northern Nigeria, is majority Muslim, but the city has a sizeable Christian minority.
Some of those arrested have been released after paying fines ranging from 10,000 naira to 15,000 naira, Yola said.
“Those who could not afford the fine are being kept in prison,” he added, but he would not specify the number of people currently being held.
At the restoration of civilian rule in 1999, 12 northern states, including Kano, formally adopted sharia, but the Islamic legal system has been unevenly applied.
The Hisbah was formed in 2001, largely to enforce sharia, but the force has other duties, including some community development work and alternative dispute resolution.
The southern half of Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country, is mostly Christian. My question is this...abeg wetin Concern person with my hairstyle?

Very interesting post. You brag about money given to con-men, therefore YOU are a con-man, looking to lure in fools who might think they can squeeze more pounds sterling out of you, only to be tricked and defrauded after parting with one or the other "processing fees" that you will request BEFORE you honor your bogus promise to send imaginary cash to your victim.

You ain't fooling nobody, you slimy, devious, broke-asz muffuguh, and by posting your fairy tales here, you will get NOTHING from anyone, other than maybe a visit from the police to haul you in and lock you up for wire fraud.

I'm waiting for a day they will ban hijab in the Emirate City

^^^He wants to be president of a supposedly secular Nigeria!

We are waiting for him to indicate his interest to vie for the highest office.Until then,i will stand with my hands akimbo.

Questions we need to ask.

1. Are those arrested, all Moslems?
2. If non Moslems were arrested, where would they be tried? Shari court?
3. If under Sharia, who will be their lawyer?

Biafrans, leave the Jihardists enclave while you can!

Hair Haram.

When people begin to remind APC about the works of their governor when voting time comes, they will come out and call it religious intolerance. This is how Buhari ran around Nigeria pretending to be holier than mohammed.

Some of those arrested have been released after paying fines ranging from 10,000 naira to 15,000 naira, Yola said.
“Those who could not afford the fine are being kept in prison,”

Islamic tithe.

I hate this country!. Imposing crazy sharia law on non-sharialists. National confab delegates should canvass for christ law-christ police-christ court-christ judges. BULLSHIT!!!

Slimmos What do you mean you never see me (devil) from ages? If you claim not to know me how you take conclude say I be prostitute or HIV carrier? You don’t call people you have not met before fabricated names to tarnish their image. Secondly, your mother and sisters should not have been calling me on the phone every now and then to beg me. Your mother says na small pikin dey worry you make I forgive you. It will be difficult for me to forgive you. You have awoken the demon in me by duping me and still having the mouth to call me names on nairaland. Last year when I was returning to uk, slimmos, didn’t I give 200,000 naira? The phone weh you dey use so no be me give you? Dat yeye Johnson weh your mama dey sleep with, wetin the man dey do for una? U are here lying to 5naira say you don’t know me before. Moses na God go judge you and your father. Stop calling my phone, if you like hide your number I will never forgive you and your father. £6000 is 6000x 280=1m 680000 naira ( 1,680000naira). You and your papa na thieves and 419. You and your papa should pay me my 1,680000naira.
